This is the most press The Daily Show has gotten since the Jon Stewart days. Having new hosts every week possibly brings in new audiences. It’s basically SNL now.

    The thing that made Stewart a great host for so long was that he cared. In the media landscape of the past 25 years sometimes he felt like the only voice that actually gave a shit how events were impacting people’s lives.

    That he could mix it up with cutting comedy was great too, but nothing compared to when he gave that heartfelt monologue on the first TDS after 9/11.
